  3. On Nov 10 2009 Tom Copeland (USCG) read A Savage War of Peace: Algeria 1954-1962 by Alistair Horne and commented:

    I wasn't even aware of this conflict before reading this fascinating account of France's slow and painful disengagement from Algeria. What an epic story - this will take you a while to get through but it's well worth it. The only change I wish for is for the author to have added footnotes supplying translations of the many French phrases he uses; but fortunately it's usually possible to infer their meaning from the context. A classic counterinsurgency story; don't miss it.
